Great. Now the billionaire class can just make their lil workers en masse without any need for the plebs. What a fucking timeline.

We still need humans for nine months to carry them to term, but I won't be surprised if there are people looking into a technological "solution" to that.

You ever see the movie 'Bone Tomahawk'? Anyone who's seen it will know exactly where your comment made my mind go. Go watch it at least for this context.

Either a technological solution or paying people to carry the baby and then the company takes custody after that. Either way very dystopian.
